Are you looking for new ways to "make the case" for research-based prevention to your school's administrators and staff?

Do you find yourself having a hard time differentiating between strategies, programs, and curricula?

Are you ready to select a research-based program for your school, but unsure of how to find the one that will best meet your prevention and academic needs?

If you answered YES to these questions, then this online workshop is for you!

As a participant in this event, you will have the opportunity to follow Patty Franklin, a fictional MSC at Stanton Middle School, as she begins the process of selecting a research-based program for her school.

Join her as she:

• convinces skeptical faculty that research-based prevention can make a difference

• develops a system for organizing the information she has collected about different exemplary and promising programs

• brainstorms with her Prevention Planning Team the factors that could affect their school's ability to effectively implement the program they select

This case study is designed to provide you with the tips, tools, and resources you need to locate and select the research-based program, or combination of programs, that is most likely to be effective in your school and community.

The Center's online continuing education training program offers a menu of skills-based, interactive learning activities designed to facilitate the transfer of knowledge into practice, enhance the exchange of effective practices among middle school coordinators (MSCs), and strengthen MSCs' capacity to implement effective prevention efforts.
